We’ll be sharing with you our most unique wedding dress designs, styles, and trends for 2024 so you can look uniquely you on your big day! 

What are Different Bridal Styles?

While there is no single “bridal style” that brides should adopt, there are general trends that brides can often take inspiration from. These different wedding dress styles reflect the bride’s personality and can often feed into the overall theme of the wedding. Knowing your bridal style can help you select your wedding dress and give your stylists a clearer picture when pulling gowns for you to try on. Some of these bridal styles include:

  • Traditional/Classic Bride
  • Boho Bride
  • Romantic/Fairytale Bride
  • Modern Minimalist Bride
  • Glamorous Bride
  • Non-Traditional Bride

What is the Most Popular Wedding Dress Style?

One of the most popular wedding dress styles is the traditional A-line. Brides love the soft shape, fitted in the bodice and flaring out at the waist creating that capital “A” shaped silhouette. Less bulky than a ballgown, but still keeping fullness in the skirt, the A-line is a bridal favorite. With classic touches like lace and delicate beading, we can see why this romantic wedding dress style is so popular. We’ve also noticed that brides love adding a bit of boho flair to this wedding dress. Whether that’s by incorporating more floral laces, sheer details, or bishop and bell sleeves, the boho A-line is definitely a popular wedding dress style. 

Uncovering Your Unique Bridal Style

Finding your bridal style has a lot to do with understanding your personal style. What kind of clothes do you wear day to day? Do you love a skirt and heels for a glam look or casual jeans and a tee? Knowing this is the first step in uncovering your bridal style. Another way to help discover your wedding dress style is to make a list of what you want or don’t want in your wedding dress. Is comfort the most important thing? Then maybe go for a sheath or A-line, something that will float off the body and feel effortless. From silhouette to neckline, sleeves, embellishments, or even knowing how you want to feel will allow your friends, family, and stylist to help you pick your perfect gown! Sometimes it’s outside factors that can uncover your bridal style, like when and where you’re getting married. If you know you want a summer wedding or to get married on the beach, this can influence your wedding dress style. Don’t want the traditional white or ivory dress? Try a colorful gown! Whether it’s soft and subtle, like our smokey lavender, or bold in black a colorful wedding dress is sure to stand out.
